Here is a very early climb and descend indicator dating from the 1930s. This gauge was used in the RAF's Tiger Moth. I believe it would have been used in other aircraft types of the period. The picture does not do it any favours, the flash has accentuated its flaws, It actually looks better in the flesh. Its a simple instrument and in full working order. Complete with fixing bracket.

The de Havilland DH 82 Tiger Moth is a 1930's Bi Plane designed by Geoffrey De Haviland  and was operated by the RAF and others as a primary trainer. The Tiger Moth remained in service with the RAF until 1952 when many of the surplus aircraft entered civil operation. Many other nations used the Tiger Moth both in military and civil applications and the ubiquitous little trainer is still in great demand worldwide as a recreational aircraft.

Kollsman Altimeter 1942 (pg9 ins) 

A really nice early altimeter fitted to Spitfire's Hurricanes and practically all other RAF Wartime aircraft. The top right lug is damaged. I don't know why but allot of these altimeter's have this lug either damaged or ground off. As the altimeter mounts from the back of the panel the broken lug won't be seen. If you want to replace the case I am including a new case with this instrument see under.

GLOSTER GAUNTLET 240 MPH ASI (pg9 ins)

A very rare Airspeed indicator used in the Gloster Gauntlet. Not many instruments like this survive from the 1930s this is in mint condition . Fighters were about to take a huge leap in the form of Spitfires and Hurricanes. This ASI was in use two years before the first Spitfire prototype flew. The Gloster Gauntlet was designed by H P Folland to meet RAF requirements for a new day-and-night single-seat fighter during 1927 and entered production in 1934 to Specification 24/33. A total of 24 Gloster Gauntlet I's and 204 Gloster Gauntlet 11's were built for the RAF, with 605 hp Mercury VIS engines and two fixed for-ward-firing 0.303 in (7.7 mm) machine guns. A handful remained in service with No 616 Squadron in September 1939 but were soon retired from front-line squadrons, continuing to fly in the UK as station hacks and for meteorological duties. A few others equipped 'D' Flight of 47 Squadron (later No 430 Flight) in the Sudan and saw combat in 1940, against Italian forces; ex-RAF Gloster Gauntlets also operated briefly in North Africa with RAAF squadrons and in East Africa with the SAAF. 24 ex-RAF Gloster Gauntlets supplied to Finland in 1940 served as fighter trainers until 1945, some on skis.

Cannon Round Counter (pg9 ins)

Here's a super rare wartime item. It's a counter for the 20 mm. Hispano cannon fitted to wartime British fighters. These were needed due to the very limited supply of ammunition that the aeroplanes were able to carry. Some form of guide as to how much had been expended was therefore necessary. This instrument is in superb, original condition.

Hurricane RAD Temp Gauge 1936  (pg9 ins)

Classic 1936 dated Radiator Temperature gauge with complete capillary, it has short capillary so for fighter use. Could have been fitted to an early Hurricane . It is also suitable for use in the early MK's of Spitfire. I have tested this in a bowl of hot water and it appears to work perfectly it will require recalibration if used operationally. A rare item in very nice original condition.

The Sea Otter was broadly based on the Walrus, with a tractor engine and more refined construction. It could be either Carrier or shore based and served with the RAF Coastal Command and the Fleet Air Arm. It consisted of two marks, Mk I Amphibian with optional under wing bombs or depth charges and the A.S.R. Mk II Air/Sea rescue version. The first production aircraft was delivered in August 1943, and a total of 4 had been delivered by the end of the year, the rest been delivered in 1944 and 1945. The Sea Otter was the last biplane to enter RAF and FAA service in 1944. A total of 292 were built mainly for the FAA although only 94 had been delivered by August 1945.
